Training
An introduction to using international aid and development data
A free one-hour training session on how to find and explore data to answer your aid and development questions
Need to know more about aid and development projects and their impact? Interested in who is spending what, where, how and why? Want to understand the latest trends in official development assistance (ODA)? Whether you have questions on big picture global trends in health spending, nutrition programmes in your country, your government’s support for gender equality, or the detail of who funded the new local school this free training session will show you where and how to find the answers.
Over the course of one hour we’ll introduce you to the leading global open aid dataset – the International Aid Transparency Initiative – and how to access and navigate information on over a million development, humanitarian and climate projects. Aimed at researchers, journalists, and representatives from governments and civil society, the training is delivered by the Publish What You Fund team. We have extensive experience of using this data for our own research, advocacy and campaigning work. This interactive training is free and delivered online. To gain valuable insights to assist your research, planning, fundraising, advocacy or campaigning work sign up today.
The session will provide you with a good understanding of:
- What International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) data is and what it contains
- What IATI data can be used for
- How it compares to Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data
- How to access and explore IATI data – through demonstrations of two tools
- Where to go for further help and other data sources
This session is designed for those working in or with a keen interest in the aid, development or humanitarian sectors but no previous knowledge/experience of using IATI data. Places are limited, and there will be time for questions and answers, so please bring your specific questions along.
